Migrations - Where did they come
from and where did they go - Tracking our people
|
| I will be developing this section of the site further, WITH YOUR HELP, and
adding both the names of the women that the history books seldom considered, and
the place of origin and family histories. For now, I am just trying to get the
order of who came when established. Some of the tax records, that would
demonstrate that, are missing. This immigrant section is in draft mode subject
to change. |
